If you had the money to start you could easily make lots of money each season. Don't bet the line but rather just the who will win. If you bet 50 bucks each and every game against the Nets you will have won 59 times and only lost 7. Say you only get 50% return on wins that makes the profit equation (59x$25) - (7x$50). That would be $1,125 profit this season. Obviously the Nets are having one of the worst seasons ever but you could each year wait a month to see who are the worst 2-4 teams and then do this. You would make 3-4 grand a year doing this but you would need the starting capital. Oh and you could do this for each sport, although I wouldn't do it with football (too unpredictable and too few games). That post was amazing. Jimmy the Greek up in this bitch.

Yeah, that's not common in the NBA at all.

The pros: 23 with a career .318 .366 .558 .924 line. Shows great hand eye coordination with a 16.3% K rate and hammers the ball; career .240 ISO. Remarkably consistent. 2009 RK, A-: .355 .400 .547 .947 2010 A: .310 .355 .541 .896 2011 AA: .300 .357 .566 .923 2012 AAA: .340 .375 .603 .978 Cons: Listed at 6-3 230. Has negative value in every aspect of the game outside of his bat, and is limited to 1b/DH only. 6.2% non IBB walk rate is worrisome for a guy with a career .318 BA and .558 SLG, and he hasn't improved on it in MiLB: 09 - 6.4% 10 - 5.9% 11 - 6.5% 12 - 5.9% Small sample size, but has been chewed up and spit out by advanced arms, highlighting his poor BB rate. .733 OPS and 28/3 K/BB in the 2011 AFL. .825 OPS (thanks to 2 early HR against MILB guys) with a 10/1 K/BB in ST. My opinion: .280 .320 .480 .800 2 WAR Poor walk rate that has shown no improvement makes him a flash in the pan type guy, as I don't think he's athletic enough to become Vladimir Guerrero.

So Harper goes 1st to 3rd on a single to left and then steals home on a pickoff throw to first. Awesome

Damn, the Kings are playing insane right now.

Is Strasburg Washington's Mark Prior?
NonProfitCow replied to TheVolCub08's topic in General Baseball Talk
Why? Because they were really good and then they weren't anymore after massive shoulder problems. Duh. -
Chiefs 1st half schedule is brutal, but the 2nd half is really, really soft.

Crazy to say that's not Prior-at-his-best good. Crazy to say that's not Strasburg-at-his-best good. -
He doesn't have to.

Elliot has been playing his ass off.

I'm not a big hockey guy for the most part, but this Blues-Sharks series has me amped up.

The Sharks were being dirty dickbags the whole game. Good to see them get their asses handed to them at the end. Polak beat the [expletive] out of someone after the whistle. Braun I think. Just pummeled him. Yeah, it was Braun. He's big dude too.

Absolutely nothing.

Berkman has been bad against LHP for 3 years. His numbers vs LHP last year were inflated by a few HR in the 1st half and he was awful against them in the 2nd half. Jay's success against LHP, and success in general has been because of an unsustainable .350+ BABIP (and the RHB who played for him hit a HR). Carpenter hit cleanup because Freese wasn't in the lineup because he's an injury risk with both of his ankles surgically repaired. He's played 17, 70 and 90 games over the last 3 years. Giving him an extra off day against a tough RHP early in the year is fine by me. It isn't about his health now, it's about keeping him healthy for the next 155. I don't see what's so crazy about it.

The benchings for the Brewers game (Berkman, Jay, Descalso, Molina) were to get the platoon advantage since it was a LHP and a standard catcher rest day. The Reds benchings were due to Berkman being injured and to give Beltran and Freese an extra day off since they are huge injury risks. Rookie Matt Carpenter hit .316 .412 .487 .900 and .300 .417 .463 .880 in his first time through AA and AAA and I assume that Matheny is smart enough to understand that protection doesn't exist. Pretty straightforward managing actually.

And he just hit another bomb to dead center.

Tiger had his worst Friday ever at the Masters and shot a +3.

The more I see the uniforms and the absurd outfield thing, the more I like them.

The Cubs cut him in Spring Training when he was 29. In 1992. -
Welp, Kentucky's gonna cruise to the title now.

I can't figure out why they didn't make it a day game in Japan.
